Trouble Corner on Deal Beach Street

I was glad to bring Kent County Council Cabinet Member for Roads and Highways, Cllr David Brazier, to Beach Street in Deal to look at a dangerous section of the road. Cllr Brazier also met with local residents and business owners and to see the site. There was a serious accident earlier this year on this area of Beach Street and many concerned residents contacted me about this dangerous bend.

When I lived on Beach Street I saw first-hand the speeds that cars can reach and the many near misses on this corner. I pledged to take action over the unsafe bend so we could avoid any more accidents. It is good that Cllr Brazier agreed with me and will have the road speed tested. Hopefully, this will be the first step in addressing this dangerous corner.
